Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon. Untrained individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are typically seen as being strong and timeless, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also will result in expensive repair work.

The most difficult option after a windstorm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the storm might pose a possible future threat and may need to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing property & people at risk in months or even years to come.

Other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to fall or angle violently while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear under the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially increased danger to fall even if it survived the initial storm.
